Thank you all so much!

Sheryl, I'm so glad they figured it out. I hope he wakes up feeling much better. Marcia

Wow you are so right: we are all so fortunate to benefit from the miracle of weight loss surgery, I hope that none of us finds ourselves in the terrible situation your father has been in. To go undiagnosed simply due to the excess body tissue in the way, and to think that he might not have survived, is horrifying. I have to say, one of my greatest motivators for going ahead with WLS, was the death of my favorite aunt from complications of diabetes, about 3 years ago. I was diagnosed with diabetes in June of this year, and I kept thinking I didn't want to end up like her: in a wheelchair, half of one leg missing, the other foot with ulcers, failing kidneys, unable to go to the toilet alone because she couldn't reach her behind with toilet tissue, due to all the excess body fat and fluids in her system. If only WLS had been prevalent when she was my age, her life might have been very different. I wish for your father's continued recovery and improved health. And I wish you an awesome vacation in Florida! Sheryl

All you guys are so nice you make me want to cry. Thank you all again from the very bottom of my heart. Sheryl

Sheryl, I am glad you're dad is doing better. Now please have a GREAT time in Florida, relax and enjoy every minute of your vacation, you need to take care of yourself and your family now. A BIG HUG FOR YOU Celia
